wnbc.com - Politics - Bloomberg Gives Away Another $20 Million

wnbc.com - Politics - Bloomberg Gives Away Another $20 Million: "Billionaire Mayor Michael Bloomberg has given away another $20 million to 400 arts and social services groups.
The donations, which range from $10,000 to $100,000, are distributed by the Carnegie Corporation.
The recipients, which are selected by Carnegie, include a Staten Island program for women recovering from substance abuse, a Dominican advocacy and social services group in Washington Heights, the Council of Jewish Organizations of Flatbush, and at least five community groups in Harlem.
The New York Post reported Wednesday that the recipients also include The Drawing Center in SoHo. The center, one of the cultural institutions slated to open at ground zero, has angered Gov. George Pataki and some 9/11 family members by displaying art criticizing America's war on terrorism. The recipients were chosen before that controversy emerged, the paper said."
